The Empire State

I bought my flight to New York City earlier this week! I'm going over Memorial Day weekend, just in time for Fleet Week. I was in New York for Fleet Week last year and had so much fun. I have a whole list of things I want to do while I'm there, hopefully living a more local life than a tourist life. Being a tourist in NYC is crazy!

-Roosevelt Island Tram: apparently it's the best view of the city
-The Sopranos Tour: Take a tour of all the filming locations of the best TV show ever? Yes, please!
-Statton Island Ferry: I've done this a few times during the day, but never at night
-D.U.M.B.O.: Again, somewhere I've been in the day, but never at night
-Brooklyn Bridge: Nighttime, again
-Cruiser biking through Central Park
-Rowboats on the pond in Central Park
-Guggenheim, MoMA, or Museum of Natural History: I've done The Met, but no other museums
-Streetfairs: Best bargains!
-Eat in Chinatown and Little Italy
-Yankees vs. Indians: Already bought my tickets! May 30, 1:05pm!

If anyone has any other ideas, shoot 'em my way. I've been to all of the big tourist locations already: Empire State Building, The Rock, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, etc.

Also, I have been asking around (and even asked on Yahoo! Answers) about cute, comfortable walking shoes. I'm looking for something that would look nice with skinny jeans and sun dresses, but are still comfortable to walk in for a long time and won't kill me feet. Suggestions??
